ARNO Werkzeuge USA announced it has reintroduced the H.B. Rouse brand of American-made, carbide cutting tools and inserts. Formerly sold and marketed under the Arno-Rouse name, the company has reintroduced Rouse as a stand-alone product offering under its original brand name: H.B. Rouse.

The company offers a broad range of carbide boring bars, tools and inserts for manual turning and milling operations.

• H.B. Rouse Little Hogger Mills have standard ¾" Weldon shanks and use standard carbide inserts and are useful on all milling machines like Bridgeport types to large boring mills.


• H.B. Rouse carbide insert turning tools triple-sided inserts for quick-change turning/lathe operations.

• H.B. Rouse triple-tip boring bars offer an improved triangular insert located within a precision machined pocket to eliminate shifting under heavy cuts. The cutting-edge only requires removing a single screw and indexing the insert.

• H.B. Rouse carbide insert boring bars feature carbide inserts that provide three cutting edges instead of only one (as is common with brazed tip tooling).


Martin Gardner, president of ARNO USA, added, "While ARNO Werkzeuge high-precision cutting tools and inserts is our focus in North America, the H.B. Rouse product has always been complimentary to our German-made, high-precision offering. H.B. Rouse cutting tools are still very popular in manual lathes and milling applications, such as automotive, education/training, hobbyist and other general machining markets."
